Carolina +7.5 (bought half point) -- very Large
Carolina +3.5 = +140 -- medium play
Carolina ML = +190 -- small play
Belichek is the ultimate chess master, but Carolina's offense is so simple, it won't matter for this game. Carolina's whole gameplan will be to get Brady out of rhythm by taking away his first receiver option; they don't need to worry much about stopping the run. On offense, Fox will keep pounding that run and burn the Pats with play action when Harrison comes up to stop the run. It's been awhile since New England has been on the road and that comfort level may not be what it is at Foxboro -- the last time they played in Texas, they had to come from behind to beat the Texans. I haven't felt this good about a superbowl line since last year's Tampa Bay team was getting 3.5 points.
